thrills, spills, and wandering luggage
Jan. 2nd, 2011 10:01 pmIt's been an eventful holiday season.
I was in Atlanta for Christmas not only for the first time since I moved here, but for the first white Christmas in GA in over 120 years.
I got to see my family, in-laws, and extended in-law family for wonderful times by firesides and at tables :) Much conversation and observation was had.
In Gatlinburg (more record lows/snow) I had my first downhill skiing lesson and realized I might be able to learn the sport given a (much) less crowded bunny slope. Also learned I can fall intelligently when I have to. This is perhaps worth a post of its own.
New Year's was spent at the airport luggage carousel, only to discover that my bag (with most of my good casual clothes + Christmas gifts) hadn't made the flight. Much online tracking and irritated calls to the airline later, I've learned that somehow it wound up in London (?!) and may not get back here until tomorrow night or Tuesday (!!) Also perhaps worth a post of it's own but not the fun, exciting kind :/
I've been tweeting madly but not really able to read LJ. If I missed something crucial, point me at it.
